Chapter 10 Chapter 10 (Catching Bugs) Sometimes Ren Xiaoyue would...
Sometimes Ren Xiaoyue thinks Zhe is also a very interesting person.
What's the level of his ability? Why does he pretend to be so inconspicuous? What was his past like? These are things that will be revealed in the second half of the Academy chapter. Readers will follow Lu Ze's perspective and gradually understand Zhe's past through each commission.
However, Ren Xiaoyue, who had received the script in advance, knew his past now.
Before joining the academy and becoming a teacher, Zhe was a mercenary. In more Western fantasy terms, Zhe was an adventurer. He and his friends formed a team of four and made a living by completing commissions.
Zhe was alone at the beginning, but during one commission after another, he got to know his teammates and formed a team with them. He and his teammates are close friends who have lived together for a long time and they are brought together by their interest in adventure.
When they are short of money, they complete a few commissions. When they have enough money, they go on adventures and travel. Together they climbed towering mountains, crossed uninhabited rainforests, and swam across the vast ocean.
Zhe cherishes those days very much. He thought he would travel with these teammates until he could no longer walk, but he did not expect that things are so unpredictable.
The lowest-ranking teammate in the team fell into danger during an expedition and was seriously injured. The doctor told him not to do strenuous exercise or use his supernatural powers for a long time.
In addition to him, his teammates who tried to save him at the time also suffered injuries to varying degrees, but their injuries were not as serious as that teammate's, and they recovered after a period of rest.
After making a painful decision, Zhe and his friends decided to move on. They left their teammates with enough wealth to last a lifetime and continued their adventure.
Let us continue the journey for you! They said.
However, the teammate didn't think so.
In the eyes of that teammate, every photo and gift that was sent back were like a knife filled with poison, stabbing into his heart one by one.
Why are we injured similarly but you are all fine? Why can't I continue my adventure while you can still embark on your journey happily?
He did not discuss his pain with his teammates, but just kept dwelling on it. The more he thought about it, the more painful it became, and he decided to let his teammates feel the pain as well.
We are teammates. Since you want to share happiness with me, I should also share "happiness" with you.
He got in touch with the villain organization and joined it. With the help of the villain organization, he "retaliated" against his teammates one by one. The two teammates except Zhe died because of him, and Zhe's supernatural power also regressed from high level to medium level because of this incident.
If the dean of the Academy of Superpowers had not protected him, Zhe would have died at that time.
The sheltered Zhe knew that he had no power to resist the forces behind his former teammates, so he could only bide his time, remain anonymous, and wait for the right time to make his move.
The reason why Zhe doesn't interact too closely with others now is, on the one hand, because he is afraid that his subsequent actions will drag down others, and on the other hand, that teammate made him a little stressed and he doesn't want to continue making friends.
But how can humans, as social creatures, tolerate loneliness? So in response to Gretel's persistent harassment, Zhe adopted an attitude of neither accepting nor rejecting.
After reading Zhe’s character biography, Ren Xiaoyue’s first thought was actually why every major character in this comic has a tortuous and tragic past? How on earth should she make up her own story to compete with them?
The second thought is that she can completely replicate Gretel’s behavior and connect with Zhe.
In fact, her decision was not wrong. On the surface, she should be the person with the best relationship with Zhe in the academy.
After Zhe was transferred from the theoretical teaching group and the new semester started, Ren Xiaoyue spent a period of time without any incidents. She read in the comics about Zhe's first acquaintance with the protagonists, their first mission, and how they got to know each other. During that time, she actually ran into Zhe several times in the cafeteria.
When the comic was about to reach a small climax, Ren Xiaoyue felt that it was about time for her to join in the fun.

Thanks to the existence of the School of Superpowers, the Tejiscot School, the not-so-big city of Kant has a prosperity that is different from other third-tier small cities. You can often see students wearing school uniforms on the streets, and sometimes you can see them arguing over a commission, just like this...
"Huh?! Where do you get the confidence that you can beat me?" Berend sneered with his hands on his hips.
As the object of his ridicule, Lu Ze made a face: “It’s not like you haven’t lost to me before, Lululu.”
Behind Berend, a petite girl with freckles on her face and a ponytail grabbed Berend's clothes and weakly advised: "Berend... let's forget it."
However, the tall, short-haired woman next to her disagreed with her words: "Xiao Ling, how can you destroy your own ambition and enhance the prestige of others?"
Aster was behind Lu Ze, also in a confrontational manner, and was helping Lu Ze speak up. Bertram on the other side of Lu Ze said nothing, but showed no intention of backing down.
As their instructor, Zhe stood aside and resisted the urge to roll his eyes. Next to him, Gretel inherited his students' bellicosity very well, or rather, his students were exactly the same as him.
"What? You're not scared, are you?" Gretel asked provocatively.
What a hassle… If he were alone, Zhe would say without hesitation that I was just scared. After all, his dignity had been thrown to the ground and trampled into pieces long ago. But now his students were obviously full of fighting spirit, and he felt embarrassed to fall behind.
So Zhe ignored Gretel, which made Gretel very angry again.
When Ren Xiaoyue came over with milk tea, this was the scene she saw from afar.
As expected, the male lead and the second male lead’s younger brother are facing off again. Young people are just full of energy. Ren Xiaoyue thought so and took a sip of the drink in her hand with satisfaction.
I have to say that saving the rich businessman's daughter was a very correct choice. Not only did it allow her to get a job and a house in the new city, it also allowed her to better fit into the subsequent plot.
Ren Xiaoyue held a cup of sweet hot tea and walked slowly to the group of people. Before they greeted her, she spoke first, "I didn't expect that the people who took this commission were all people I know. What a coincidence."
After noticing Ren Xiaoyue walking straight towards them, the quarrel had eased somewhat, but when they heard these words, they stopped quarreling completely.
"Teacher?! Are you the client?" Lu Ze said in amazement.
"No, I'm not. The client is my friend. He couldn't come due to something, so he asked me to come." Ren Xiaoyue handed the milk tea in her hand to the people in front of her, indicating that they should share it.
It’s actually a lie.
This commission already existed in the original plot. The commission came from Qian Duoduo, the protagonist's future biggest financial backer and the father of the person rescued by Ren Xiaoyue. This was his plan to find people with special powers who could fight against the villain organization and build his own power, casting a wide net in the School of Special Powers.
But after Ren Xiaoyue changed the plot, Qian Duoduo seemed to have no reason to issue this commission. He did hate the villain organization that kidnapped his daughter, but his daughter was not dead, and he did not have the intention of fighting to the death with the organization as described in the original plot.
Seeing that the time for the plot to take place was almost up, and Qian Duoduo had no intention of entrusting anyone else, Ren Xiaoyue took action herself.
Of course, in order not to reveal her identity, she asked Qian Duoduo to do this for her. Qian Duoduo didn't ask any questions and quickly completed the task for the benefactor who saved his daughter.
So, Ren Xiaoyue waited until today's situation.
Ren Xiaoyue handed the milk tea to the girl named Xiaoling, whose full name is Lin Ling. This girl is Berend's teammate. She is introverted and doesn't like to fight. She has no conflicts with Lu Ze and the others, so it would be more appropriate for her to distribute milk tea.
Another teammate of Berend is called Emma, a very common and classic name, and she has a hot temper. Although there was no conflict between them and Lu Ze and the others before, they will remember Lu Ze because they did not receive the commission this time. It is not because they hold a grudge against him. The feelings of students are still relatively pure. Emma will train and study harder after this, just to defeat Lu Ze one day.
When Lin Ling was handing out milk tea, Lu Ze was the first to react. He held Ren Xiaoyue's hand and said seriously: "Teacher, it is absolutely worth it for you to choose us to do the task! You also know our strength. Before, we were... wuwuwu."
Seeing that he was about to tell the stupid thing about being attacked while looking for a cat, Asthe stuffed the milk tea into Bertram's hand without saying a word and covered Luze's mouth: "Haha, teacher... that thing before was a complete accident! Look, our team has the top student in the grade, it's definitely right to choose us."
Zhe looked at the eye contact between them and frowned slightly.
It's such a hassle.
As an office colleague, Zhe probably knew that Lu Ze and the others had caused Ren Xiaoyue to sprain her ankle, but Gretel was not clear about it. He looked left and right, looking like he couldn't fit in.
Seeing this, Berend interrupted and said, "Haha, you guys should just forget it. Who caused the teacher to sprain his ankle twice?"
Emma had long known that Berend had a conflict with the three people opposite. Berend had not hidden this matter at all, and few people in the entire grade did not know about it. But she did not know that the conflict between them was also related to Ren Xiaoyue.
No matter what, she has to fight for this commission first. Emma quickly made a plan and chimed in, "Teacher, this commission is to go to the Fantasy Forest in the east. My ability has the effect of dispelling negative influences, which is just right for this task."
Asther said "Huh?", and Bertram, who had been silent for a long time, spoke at the right time, saying that the hallucinogenic effects in the forest could be dealt with by preparing corresponding drugs in advance.
Ren Xiaoyue happily watched them rack their brains to promote themselves. After both sides had spoken, she said slowly and impartially like a fair referee: "Okay, okay, I know you are all excellent."
"But I'm not the one who entrusted you with this commission, so I can't just decide who to hire. How about this? I remember there's a special practice room in the academy. You two can have a head-on fight, and I'll give the commission to whoever wins."
"Before I came, the client told me that the stronger the talent, the more likely it is to complete the task, so he wants to choose the strongest group."
Emma frowned, Berend hesitated to speak, and finally they both nodded. Lu Ze wanted to say something, but was pinched by Aster and swallowed his words. Lin Ling secretly glanced at Ren Xiaoyue and didn't quite agree with what she said, but in the end she said nothing.
Ren Xiaoyue had explained it so clearly, so the students couldn't continue to make trouble. Even though they don't think the best fighter is the most suitable, the academy has taught them this: the client is the financial backer and the client has the final say.
The young students got on the bus in silence, and for the first time they understood that money is hard to earn and shit is hard to eat.
